Easy Sequined Picture Frame

Welcome to the Crazy Christmas event! If you’re new here, join us on Facebook and Pinterest. Now let’s give Amy from Positively Splendid a big welcome! We’re so happy to have you guest posting!

Hi everyone! I’m Amy from Positively Splendid, and I am so excited to be here today to share a super quick and easy craft idea that is perfect for holiday decorating and gift-giving. This easy sequined picture frame can be made in a half hour (or less!), and it only requires a handful of easy-to-find supplies. Let’s get started!

Supplies:

Unfinished wood frame

Acrylic paint (Use a color the blends well with your sequins)

Foam brush

20 mm sequins (I used white and gold, but you can use whatever color combination that suits your fancy)

Low-temperature hot glue

Directions:

Using the foam brush, paint the frame with 1-2 coats of acrylic paint and allow to dry completely.

Starting at the bottom of the frame, run a line of hot glue across the width of the frame. Affix a row of sequins to the line of glue, overlapping the edges slightly. Note: If your sequins have a small hole one on one edge, be sure to position each one so its neighbor will overlap and cover the hole.

Continue adhering the sequins in rows, alternating colors between each row, until you reach the top of the frame.

You are finished!

I just love the shine of the sequins!

These would be so perfect for displaying a special photo, or even a favorite printable, like the lovely houndstooth monogram pictured in my frame above.

I created some FREE printable houndstooth monogram sets in three different color schemes that are perfect for displaying in these frames. What a perfect gift idea for teachers, friends and co-workers!

I think I just found the craft to do with my 2nd grade daughter’s class during their holiday party. I don’t like the idea of bringing in my hot glue gun around a bunch of silly 2nd grade boys, though, and we are limited with time, so I’ll have to tweak this a little.
